Delegation

One of the biggest surprises stepping into an operator and advisory role was realizing how little space founders actually have to think.

Not because they don’t want to.

Because everything in the business still runs through them.

In the short term, doing it yourself is often easier than coaching someone else.

But over time, that tradeoff becomes expensive.

Leadership at this stage isn’t about doing more.

It’s about designing the business so progress can happen through other people.
